Then i dont understand, its the same part number, in that case it wasnt changed at all? I do see a difference that since 2003 though #38 a bump stop was added to the latch.

The part number may not have changed, but the part obviously has. It would not matter if you were ordering the part for a 2003 model or a 2006 model, the new part would be of the spring loaded variety. In other words, you would no longer be able to buy the adjustable hatch stop.

Gotcha, although bmw normally puts a new part number that superceeds the old one.

I have an 01' 4.4 that is recovering from a deer to the windshield and I want to fix the sunroof while it is there. How does this felt go on? Any photos? I am going to have my buddy install a new cassette while he spends 10 hours on the roof.

Can you send some pictures? Hard to tell what you are talking about... felt?

Thanks for the tip KEWL X5. that annoying rattle went away. I changed two rear support link because I thought that 's where it came from. Oh well, it needed to be changed anyway.. Thanks again

These are the two stops on the top trunklid itself?
Or the two round bottom bumps that screw into the body?

[chloella]

I put it on the the two round bumps that screwed to the body. It actaully works. No more rattle!!! Cost me $3 at homedepot. I bought the 3/4 inch one..

These are felts that goes underneath furniture legs so it won't scratch the floor. Ask anyone at the homedepot and they will show you..
